The acquiring the segment that is confirmed by using the second gesture and of the media file specifically includes: capturing the segment that is confirmed by using the second gesture and of the media file; and saving the captured segment to a preset save path.

In this embodiment of the present invention, the first gesture or the second gesture may further be another gesture that is sensed by using a sensor, or the like, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment.

In this embodiment, a user selects, according to text information displayed on a display screen of a mobile terminal, a part of the displayed text information; time information of the selected part of the text information is displayed on the mobile terminal; and the user confirms an acquired segment of a media file according to the displayed time information. According to the method, media file processing may be completed within a shortest time according to a requirement and interest of the user, which avoids a problem of installing other processing software on the mobile terminal and of having difficulty in processing, reduces CPU resource occupation and memory occupation of the mobile terminal, and improves processing efficiency and a processing speed of the mobile terminal, thereby providing better user experience for the user.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart of a media file processing method according to another embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, an example is used in which a media file is music and text information is lyrics of the music. As shown in FIG. 2, the method includes the following steps:

S201. A mobile terminal detects a gesture that triggers processing of music.

As shown in FIG. 3A, FIG. 3A is a diagram of an interface in which the mobile terminal is playing the music. An entire play time from 00:00 to 04:50 of currently played music Kiss Goodbye, a current play position, and currently played lyrics are displayed on a display screen of the mobile terminal. The display screen of the mobile terminal may be a touchscreen, and the touchscreen may be used as in input device. When the touchscreen receives a gesture of a user, the mobile terminal detects whether the gesture of the user is a gesture that triggers processing of the music. The gesture that triggers processing of the music may be a long press gesture, or a predefined gesture such as a gesture that is predefined according to a nine-square grid input method.

S202. When detecting the gesture that triggers processing of the music, display a music processing interface.

When detecting that the gesture of the user is the gesture that triggers processing of the music, the mobile terminal displays the music processing interface on the display screen of the mobile terminal. As shown in FIG. 3B, when the gesture that triggers processing of the music is detected, a music processing interface 301 is displayed, and lyrics of currently played music are displayed on the processing interface 301.

S203. Receive a first gesture.

In another embodiment of the present invention, before the mobile terminal receives the first gesture, the mobile terminal establishes an association relationship for the music, the lyrics, and a time for playing the music.

The user selects, according to the music processing interface displayed on the display screen of the mobile terminal, a part of the lyrics displayed on the interface, where the first gesture may be a long press gesture, a slide gesture, or a pinch gesture. As shown in FIG. 3B, the user selects the part of the lyrics by using a long press gesture 302.

S204. In response to the first gesture, display duration of music corresponding to a part of lyrics.

After the part of the lyrics is selected by using the first gesture, the duration of the music corresponding to the part of the lyrics is displayed on the display screen of the mobile terminal. As shown in FIG. 3B, music whose song title is Kiss Goodbye is used as an example. A part of lyrics “You and I kiss goodbye˜˜ in an empty street˜ Let the wind laugh at that I cannot refuse” is selected by using the long press gesture 302 of the user, and duration corresponding to the part of the lyrics is displayed on the processing interface 301. The displayed duration corresponding to the part of the lyrics includes the following cases. For example, a start time 00:31 and an end time 00:35 of “You and I kiss goodbye˜˜ in an empty street˜” are displayed, a start time 00:36 and an end time 00:40 of “Let the wind laugh at that I cannot refuse” are displayed at the same time, and total duration of 9 seconds of “You and I kiss goodbye˜˜ in an empty street˜ Let the wind laugh at that I cannot refuse” is further displayed. Optionally, only the total duration of 9 seconds of “You and I kiss goodbye˜˜ in an empty street˜ Let the wind laugh at that I cannot refuse” may be displayed, only the start time 00:31 and the end time 00:40 of “You and I kiss goodbye˜˜ in an empty street˜ Let the wind laugh at that I cannot refuse” may be displayed, or the start time 00:31 and the end time 00:35 of “You and I kiss goodbye˜˜ in an empty street˜” may be displayed, and the start time 00:36 and the end time 00:40 of “Let the wind laugh at that I cannot refuse” are displayed at the same time.

In another embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 3B, when the selected part of the lyrics is displayed on a display interface 301, a fine adjustment option 305 may be displayed, where the fine adjustment option 305 may provide the user with a fine adjustment option of lyrics selection, or may provide the user with an option of fine adjusting the displayed time information, or may provide options of fine adjusting the lyrics and the time at the same time. For example, when the user thinks that the only 9-second duration corresponding to the selected lyrics “You and I kiss goodbye˜˜ in an empty street˜ Let the wind laugh at that I cannot refuse” is too short, the user may adjust, by using a symbol “+” in the fine adjustment option 305, the lyrics selected by the user. When thinking that the selected lyrics are too long, the user may adjust, by using a symbol “˜” in the fine adjustment option 305, the favorite lyrics selected by the user.

Optionally, as shown in FIG. 3C, the user may fine adjust, by dragging a lyrics selection bar 307, the lyrics selected by the user. A manner in which the user fine adjusts the selected favorite lyrics is not specifically limited in the present invention.

In another embodiment of the present invention, after step S204 is performed, and before S205 is performed, step S204-1 may be performed.

S204-1. Pre-play a segment that is associated with the displayed duration and of the music.

When the pre-played segment that is associated with the displayed duration and of the music satisfies a requirement of the user, an acquired segment that is confirmed by using a second gesture and of the music is the same as the pre-played segment of the music.

When the pre-played segment that is associated with the displayed duration and of the music does not satisfy a requirement of the user, the user fine adjusts the selected lyrics and fine adjusts the displayed time by using the fine adjustment option. In this case, an acquired segment that is confirmed by using a second gesture and of the music is different from the pre-played segment of the music.

By pre-playing the segment that is associated with the displayed duration and of the music, the user may determine, according to an effect of the pre-played segment of the music, whether to perform processing, which avoids trivial gesture steps brought to the user, where the trivial gesture steps are caused by repeated processing after the user is not satisfied with a processed part obtained by processing the music, thereby further improving user experience.

In another embodiment of the present invention, after step S204 is performed, and before S205 is performed, step S204-2 and step S204-3 may further be performed.

S204-2. Determine whether the part that is selected by using the first gesture and of the lyrics conforms to a preset syntax rule.

S204-3. Display recommended lyrics if the part that is selected by using the first gesture and of the lyrics does not conform to the preset syntax rule, where the recommended lyrics are lyrics that conform to the preset syntax rule.

Lyrics that conform to the preset syntax rule are recommended to the user by using a method of determining whether the part that is selected by using the first gesture and of the lyrics conforms to the preset syntax rule and displaying the recommended lyrics. When the user does not understand syntax of a language used in the lyrics of the played music, the mobile terminal may recommend, on the display screen according to the lyrics selected by the user, the lyrics that conform to the syntax rule. The user may obtain, according to the recommended lyrics that conform to the syntax rule, a segment that is confirmed by using a second gesture and of the lyrics. When the user is unfamiliar with a language of another country, the user may determine, in this manner, whether the part that is selected by using the first gesture and of the lyrics conforms to the preset syntax rule, and obtain, according to the recommended lyrics, a music segment associated with the recommended lyrics, which improves user experience.

S205. Receive a second gesture.

When the user thinks that play duration of the music that is associated with the part of the lyrics and displayed on the display screen is appropriate, the user inputs the second gesture. A segment of the played music is confirmed by using the second gesture, and play duration of the segment of the music may be equal to the displayed duration, or play duration of the segment of the music may be not equal to the displayed duration. For example, in a line of lyrics “You and I kiss goodbye˜˜” of Kiss Goodbye, lyrics selected by the user on the display screen are “You and I kiss goodbye”, and duration corresponding to the lyrics is 4 seconds. However, a finally confirmed segment of the music is “You and I kiss goodbye˜˜”, and duration of the segment is 4.6 seconds. Obviously, play duration of the segment of the music is greater than displayed duration.

As shown in FIG. 3B, for example, when the user thinks that duration of 9 seconds of music corresponding to the part “You and I kiss goodbye˜˜ in an empty street˜ Let the wind laugh at that I cannot refuse” of the music Kiss Goodbye displayed on the display screen is appropriate, the user may tap a completion option 303.

S206. Acquire a segment that is confirmed by using the second gesture and of the media file.

When the display screen of the mobile terminal receives the second gesture of the user, where a segment of the music is confirmed by using the second gesture, play duration of the segment is associated with the displayed duration, and the mobile terminal captures the segment that is confirmed by using the second gesture and of the music, and saves the captured segment to a preset save path.

As shown in FIG. 3B, for example, when the user taps the completion option 303, the mobile terminal acquires a music segment corresponding to “You and I kiss goodbye˜˜ in an empty street˜ Let the wind laugh at that I cannot refuse” selected by the user by using the first gesture.

In another embodiment of the present invention, after the user taps the completion option 303, a sharing option 304 is displayed on the processing interface. The sharing option 304 may provide the user with an option of sharing the acquired segment of the music with another user, so as to tell another friend that the user acquires the music segment corresponding to the lyrics “You and I kiss goodbye˜˜α in an empty street˜ Let the wind laugh at that I cannot refuse” and to allow the another friend to set the acquired music segment that is shared with the another friend as a ring tone of a mobile terminal.

In another embodiment of the present invention, a statistical result of the music segment acquired by the user according to the selected lyrics may further be displayed on the display screen, for example, a quantity or a percentage of users who acquire, as the music segment, corresponding music according to the lyrics “You and I kiss goodbye˜˜ in an empty street˜ Let the wind laugh at that I cannot refuse” that are selected by the users in Kiss Goodbye is displayed on the display screen.

The present invention provides a media file processing method. When playing music on a mobile terminal, a user inputs a gesture that triggers processing of the music, a music processing interface is displayed on the mobile terminal, and the user inputs a first gesture, where a part of lyrics is selected by using the first gesture, and duration of music associated with the part of the lyrics is displayed. The user inputs, according to the displayed duration, a second gesture to confirm a segment of the music. According to the selected lyrics of the music, a time corresponding to the selected part of the lyrics is displayed. The user acquires a favorite music segment according to the displayed duration, and the mobile terminal does not need to install other processing software to implement processing of a gesture, which reduces memory occupation and a resource occupied in a CPU inside the mobile terminal, and further reduces a burden of remembering a start time and an end time of favorite music by the user, thereby improving user experience.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart of a media file processing method according to another embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 4, the method includes the following steps:

S401. Acquire a body characteristic parameter of a user.

The body characteristic parameter of the user may include a humming sound of the user, a speech sound of the user, volume of the user, a facial expression of the user, a hand motion regular pattern of the user, or the like. The body characteristic parameter of the user is not specifically limited in the present invention.

For example, a mobile terminal may acquire a music segment “You and I kiss goodbye˜˜ in an empty street˜ Let the wind laugh at that I cannot refuse” that the user hums.

S402. Match the body characteristic parameter of the user with a preset parameter of the media file.

The parameter of the media file is preset on the mobile terminal, and for example, may be a segment of the media file, a tone of a sound in the media file, an emotion in the media file, or the like.

An example is used in which the media file is music whose song title is Kiss Goodbye. When the user plays Kiss Goodbye by using the mobile terminal, and when hearing some segments of Kiss Goodbye, the user is really fond of the segments, and cannot help humming. If, when the mobile terminal plays “You and I kiss goodbye˜˜ in an empty street˜ Let the wind laugh at that I cannot refuse”, the user hums along with “You and I kiss goodbye˜˜ in an empty street˜ Let the wind laugh at that I cannot refuse”.

The mobile terminal matches the acquired music segment “You and I kiss goodbye˜˜ in an empty street˜ Let the wind laugh at that I cannot refuse” that the user hums with the music segment “You and I kiss goodbye˜˜ in an empty street˜ Let the wind laugh at that I cannot refuse” in the music Kiss Goodbye.

S403. Process the media file when a matching degree is greater than a preset value.

The music Kiss Goodbye is still used as an example. When the mobile terminal determines that a matching degree between the acquired music segment “You and I kiss goodbye˜˜ in an empty street˜ Let the wind laugh at that I cannot refuse” that the user hums and the music segment “You and I kiss goodbye˜˜ in an empty street˜ Let the wind laugh at that I cannot refuse” in the music Kiss Goodbye is greater than 80%, the mobile terminal acquires the music segment “You and I kiss goodbye˜˜ in an empty street˜ Let the wind laugh at that I cannot refuse” in the played music Kiss Goodbye.

The present invention provides a media file processing method. When a user plays music on a mobile terminal, a body characteristic parameter of the user is acquired, the body characteristic parameter of the user is matched with a preset parameter of a media file, and the media file is processed when a matching degree is greater than a preset value. The mobile terminal processes the music according to the matching degree between the body characteristic parameter of the user and the preset parameter of the media file. The mobile terminal does not need to install other processing software to implement processing of a gesture, which reduces memory occupation and a resource occupied in a CPU inside the mobile terminal, and further reduces a burden of remembering a start time and an end time of favorite music by the user, thereby improving user experience.

FIG. 5 is a diagram of a graphical user interface for processing a media file according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 5, text information 501 is displayed.

A first interface 502 is displayed in response to a first gesture, where the first interface displays time information and a part that is selected by using the first gesture and of the text information, and the time information is associated with the part that is selected by using the first gesture and of the text information.

A second interface 503 is displayed in response to a second gesture, where the second interface displays an acquired segment that is confirmed by using the second gesture and of the media file.

In another embodiment of the present invention, recommended information is displayed on the displayed first interface 502, where the recommended information is text information that conforms to the preset syntax rule. As shown in FIG. 6, after the time information and the part that is selected by using the first gesture and of the text information are displayed on the first interface 502, the recommended information is displayed on the interface 502. Kiss Goodbye is used as an example; a terminal determines whether a part “You and I kiss goodbye˜˜ in an empty” that is selected by using the first gesture and of the lyrics conforms to the preset syntax rule.

If the part that is selected by using the first gesture and of the lyrics does not conform to the preset syntax rule, that is, “You and I kiss goodbye˜˜ in an empty” does not conform to the preset syntax rule, the recommended information is displayed. As shown on the interface 502 in FIG. 6, “You and I kiss goodbye˜˜ in an empty street” is recommended.

In another embodiment of the present invention, a sharing option is displayed on the displayed second interface 503, where the sharing option responds to a third gesture, so that the acquired segment of the media file is shared. As shown in FIG. 7, the sharing option is displayed on the second interface 503, and the sharing option provides a user with an option of performing sharing with another user in another communication manner, so that an acquired segment of the music can be shared.

A fine adjustment option is further displayed on the displayed first interface 502, where the fine adjustment option provides an option of fine adjusting the part that is selected by using the first gesture and of the text information, or the fine adjustment option provides an option of fine adjusting the displayed time information.

This embodiment of the present invention provides a graphical user interface that is configured to display a user interface for processing a media file, and the graphical user interface may further implement the foregoing media file processing methods of the present invention, and is not limited to the embodiment of the graphical user interface of the present invention.

In this embodiment of the present invention, a graphical user interface for processing a media file is provided. A user may input a first gesture of the user on the graphical user interface for processing a media file, and time information associated with the text information is displayed according to a part that is selected by the user and of text information. The user inputs, according to the displayed time information, a second gesture, and acquires a favorite music segment. A mobile terminal that provides the graphical user interface does not need to install other processing software to implement processing of a gesture, which reduces memory occupation and a resource occupied in a CPU inside the mobile terminal, and further reduces a burden of remembering a start time and an end time of favorite music by the user, thereby improving user experience. Further, the graphical user interface for processing a media file provides, in a user-friendly manner, diversified visual gesture buttons for the user, which improves efficiency of a graphical interface in processing a media file by using a user gesture, and user experience.
